US sanctions merit Russian ‘military deterrence’, says Medvedev
Former president Dmitry Medvedev said Russia should respond to what he called Russophobic actions with direct military deterrence.
Russia's former president Dmitry Medvedev has suggested that the nation's response to the latest US sanctions should involve military deterrence. Medvedev, a prominent anti-Western voice and a senior ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, did not provide further details on his statement. The sanctions, signed into law by US President Donald Trump, target Russia's energy and defense sectors as well as key officials like Putin.
The legislation, named after late US Senator Lindsey Graham, aims to pressure Russia following its war in Ukraine. Medvedev, now the deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, made his remarks on the social media platform Telegram, asserting that Russia should respond to what he calls "Russophobic atrocities" in the language of military deterrence.
